Dolphins excited, curious to see Tua’s debut on Sunday

The switch toTuaTagovailoa has triggered an unprecedented level ofexcitementand interest amongthosewhoroot forthem.

TheDolphins play theRamson Sunday, andTagovailoawillbe the starter, nomatteranyone else’s opinion.

Butwhat happens if ( when?) Tagovailoa drives the team through inevitable rookie potholes?

TheDolphinswoke upMonday as theAFC’s eighth seed, and just a gameand a halfbackof the Bills.

As defensive end Shaq Lawson put itMonday,“everybody knew coming in, this division’s upfor grabs. It’s open to anybody.”

Winners of three out of four games usually don’tmake a quarterback switch. Regression with a rookie is a real possibility.

Here’ssomeof the reaction fromDolphins players on their quarterback switch:

ReceiverPrestonWilliams onwhatTagovailoadoesbest: “Obviously throwing, making plays, everything youwant in a quarterback. Y’all seen his tape, that speaks for itself. We’re excitedthatTua is getting a start just like everybody else I’m excited to see him in hisfirst gameaction versus theRams.”

HowmuchworkhaveDolphins starters gottenwithTagovailoa since trainingcamp?

Williams said“I got a couple plays with him everynowand then. The plays that he did get with me, he lookedreal good.”

Lawsonwaswith the Bills in 2018whenBuffalo began the Josh Allen era just oneweek into Allen’s rookie season.

“They don’tdraft a quarterback in thefirst round forno reason,” he said.“The guys are the future of the program.”
